The Panic in Central Park
from Poppish
Childless cat ladies, rejoice! This episode celebrates two important roles cats have held in culture across millennia: the stone lion statues of Imperial China and the bodega cats of New York City. These cats serve important functions for the buildings they protect and are beloved symbols of the community. We unpack the history both and what they mean to us today. Plus: Ellie narrowly escapes imminent danger in Central Park and being straight up gobsmacked by flower talent fees.
